Should the Jazz renegotiate and extend Favors next year?

Danilo Gallinari has agreed to a two-year, $34 million contract extension that will keep him with the Denver Nuggets through the 2017-18 season if fully carried out, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
.
The unique transaction will give Gallinari a pay raise to $14 million this season, then tack on a year at $15.5 million in 2016-17 and a player option for $16.1 million in 2017-18. He'll also receive a trade kicker, per Wojnarowski. In total, Gallinari will make around $46 million over the next three years.
.
The Nuggets were eligible to make this deal because they still had $5 million in cap space and Gallinari had gone at least three years since his last contract. They used a similar provision to give Wilson Chandler a four-year, $46 million extension earlier this summer.

I could be completely wrong about this, but I think Favors signed his extension in 2013. If so, he would be eligible for an extension and/or raise next year when he is due to make 11 million. "A contract for four or more seasons can be renegotiated after the third anniversary of its signing, extension, or previous renegotiation". Should the Jazz give him a raise for the 2016 and 2017 seasons and then extend him like Denver did for Gallinari? He will be grossly underpaid in 2016 and 2017.

They should, and he'll probably stay. If Fav remains starting-PF calibre over the next several years I simply can't see him leaving Utah. Which I'm very fine with. Great dude.
 
Gallinari makes almost as much as Hayward? So glad I'm not a fan of that fire dump of a franchise. The next Sacramento & Minnesota.
 
No, because they'll again try to trade him. I fully believe he's been on the market for 2 years. QS wants the long ball. If/when they trade Derrick it will be one of the worst mistakes ever.
 
I think they should make an offer. If nothing else it would tell Favors that they are invested in him and want him in Utah. Send a good message to a guy that wants to be here.

I hope they do.
 
I don't know the rules on this but Favors and Hayward are the same draft, I know Favors signed an extension a year earlier (where Hayward signed a new contract and not an extension last summer) so last year was Favors first year on his new contract so does the timer start last year or when he originally signed the contract extension?
 
I like Stifle. This Favors thing, though, is reminding me of his weird stuff about Millsap's uncle.
 
Wasn't catchall the one say about trade favors and he has feeling in his Gall about this? At draft?
 
I find what Stifle is saying to be possibly true. Quin's respect for the three is pretty obvious and we see that now here and in Atlanta. My hope is that Favors has quietly been working on this aspect of his game and shoots somewhere around 75-100 3's this year. I recall that game late last year where he shot the one corner three about ten seconds into the game off a set play and drilled it. His form was solid. And if he could take a limited amount this year and hit somewhere around 30%, I'd like that (I think Quin would too) as a foundation moving forward and would be really curious how good he could get with another year or two of practice.
 
Seriously.

Stifle is hell bent on running Favors off

Nope. I LOVE Derrick. I just think where there's smoke, there's fire. All of us heard the supposed rumor of what was offered to move up last year for the #1 pick. And maybe Jody's source was completely wrong this spring. But I'm not so sure. Quin loved Paul in Atlanta and multiple reports had the Jazz being interested...until Millsap got his $20M.

What weird stuff? Millsap's agent when he was with the Jazz was his uncle (or at least one of them). And Paul's agent said he hoped Utah wouldn't match the Portland offer and then was mad when he did.
